Songs And Artists With Books Of The Bible In Their Names, Vol. 2

In case you missed it, this is part two of a three-part miniseries, featuring songs and artists with books of the Bible in their names. Last time, I covered Genesis through Song of Solomon. So we'll pick up this time with the book of Isaiah and go forward through the book of Acts. As I mentioned before, it's pretty difficult to track down a song or artist for all 66 books in the Bible. But I've given it my best effort, and these are what I came up with. Again, not all the songs/artists in this collection are specifically Christian groups. In fact, it's likely that there's more of them that are not than are. But I found what I could find, and that's all I can do. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs And Artists With Books Of The Bible In Their Names, Vol. 1

I've been working on this miniseries of music posts off and on for quite awhile. For one thing, I've been practically obsessed with compiling "Opposites" posts for who-knows-how-long and this one's been on the back burner. For another, it's pretty hard to find a song or artist for every book in the Bible (there are 66 in all). But I've given it my best effort, and these are what I came up with. This will be a three-part series, of which this is (obviously) part one. Not all the songs/artists in this collection are specifically Christian groups. In fact, it's likely that there's more of them that are not than are. But, again, I found what I could find, and that's all I can do. Parts two and three are coming soon. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Genesis  ~  "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight"

2)  Exodus  ~  "A Good Day To Die"
